Knife sharpening has become unnecessarily complicated.
In this video I show how I sharpen and maintain the PREDATOR, PREDATOR HD, Tribe, and Grayman using simple tools that actually work.
I cover the sharpening kits I keep at home, in my vehicle, and in the field, along with practical techniques that anyone can learn.
You’ll see how to:
Use a whetstone properly
Hone a knife using common household items
Strop a blade for maximum sharpness
Maintain an edge in the field
Sharpen a knife using a ceramic plate
Use glass as a honing surface
Use a leather belt or cardboard as a strop
Utilize the Wazoo Viking Spark as a complete field sharpening solution
Use the back of a Leatherman saw blade as a honing steel
I also demonstrate an important concept:
Whatever dulls a knife can sharpen a knife.
Whether you’re new to sharpening or have years of experience, this video is packed with practical techniques that don’t require expensive systems or complicated gadgets.
Sharp knives aren’t created by expensive equipment - they’re created by understanding the edge.
